SUS 6021 - Quantitative Methods for Business and Public Administration

(4 units)

This course teaches best practice quantitative methods used in both conventional and sustainable business settings today. The data management and modeling function in which these tools are used exist in most mainstream business functions, e.g., marketing, operations management, finance, accounting, long term strategy, and managerial economics. The course includes examples and exercises in which the quantitative tools are applied in elementary settings to business paradigms taught in subsequent courses. This solid quantitative grounding provides an ideal bridge into these later courses and enables decision making processes to be taught at a more quantitatively rigorous level.
